About Me

"First of all, I'm a mutation.
At least that's what one of my doctors said.
I'm an Army veteran and I hope to one day receive compensation for disabilities caused by my Army service so I can afford more time for blogging and other pursuits," is the first notation I made about me for my blog.
Now, I have changed. I'm tired of pursuing justice as a veteran. I'm a life member of VFW and NAAV. I'm pleased with the good medical care by the VA. I now have Social Security and Medicare. The money isn't great, but it's good to have time for blogging and other pursuits, such as Google, Facebook, photography - old and new, old codgers and young codgers. Life is good!
